Book 1 of The Regency Collection: Witty Regencies with a Touch of Mystery

A Lady of Distinction

Morgan Beauchamp doesn’t have much use for Regency society. He’d rather be digging in the Egyptian desert for the artifacts he sells to wealthy collectors. But his latest shipment goes wrong when he’s forced to work with Egyptologist Lady Juliet Cavendish. And then strange happenings begin afflicting the household...

Lady Juliet dismisses rumors that Beauchamp unleashed an ancient curse and roused the mummy’s wrath. She’s more concerned with the explorer’s ability to unleash her own dormant passions, rousing her from her scholarly existence to long for a life of adventure far from her father's townhouse.

"A bit of THE MUMMY and a lot of Indiana Jones merge in this entertaining nonstop read... Simmons creates engaging characters and spices up her romance with plenty of action and suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat." – Romantic Times
